What's the tilting mechanism like? Is it smooth and easy to adjust?

I have no problems with my lift and set angles. I know you have to lift higher to reset to go flat. I use flat and two or three lifted angles without any problems.

Yes, It actually can tilt any direction you want. It fully flips completely around so finding your desired spot will be easy. Mine stays put wherever I leave it. It makes a clicking sound as you tilt it as to maybe having something hold it in place after each click? But honestly it doesn't feel any different to me. But like I said, it stays put for me just fine.

Yes there is a manual adjustment that is just below the motor which will allow one to tilt it up or down. Also it swings back and forth if you so choose.

Yes. It can tilt and turn. Just dont tighten too much. It is made of plastic but it works well.

once you set the screws just right you can adjust the tilt very easily without loosening anything. there are no knobs. it's all done with an allen wrench which is supplied with the mounts.

You can tilt it in any direction really. It's on one of those round holds so you can adjust it easily.

No, only the legs can be adjusted. It's a bit small, so the camera is not on eye level. Also, the mechanism is no longer very smooth and it clicks. It's a few years old, but I hardly use it. I thought it would be smooth for the life. It makes panning difficult without a jerk effect.

yes, the sliding mechanism is very smooth and can take quite a bit of weight.

It's recommended by the manufacturer for safety, however ours is not. We only use it in a bonus room with a 40" flat screen but we've had no problems with tilting etc. We feel completely safe with it.

I've been pleased with the velocity control on mine. Each person is different, though. What I like might not be your cup-of-tea.

Yes, the tilt is adjustable. It will go up and down or at whatever angle you need.

If this one is like the one I just bought from Ace, it does tilt at many different angles (though the directions barely mention it). What I haven't been able to make it do is swivel at any angle. Also, most of the moving parts are plastic.

The tilt function is manual; you have to loosen a bolt to tilt up or down. I believe it will tilt enough for what you need.

Yes, it does tilt, by about 10^ or so (estimated). As others have noted, it be nice if it tilted just a little more in many applications. There are four screws accessible from the back to loosen the rotation, and it tilts on pins. Tighten the hell out of those screws before replacing, or it will 'droop' unintentionally. I have rough enough roads that I ultimately put a drop of glue into the swivel after getting the aim right.

No, it does not tilt. Once you tighten it down that's the position it will remain in.

Hi! No but it is simple to use..as I said in my review he learned how to tilt when turning very quickly.

It handles bumbles and rough ground extremely well, but I wouldn't use the word smooth to describe it. You can still feel the vibrations in your feet, but it isn't much harder to ride.
